I noticed a single Chicory plant growing in the EllGab Garden Central alley.  I guess you can make substitute coffee out of the plant, among other uses.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicory

Flower - pretty
Giant bee - terrifying

Lol, anniem.  Actually my camera zoomed in a little too close.  That bee wasn't even half the size of a regular honeybee.

Oh, ok. Nevertheless, beware the Giant Bee!

Yum! I LOVE Chicory coffee.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

@SpookPumpkin Houseplant? Will it get cold in the winter? What kind of sun/exposure? You want something upright or hanging?

@PolkaDot

Houseplant
Most likely cold in winter, but not enough for me to freeze indoors with central heating. 
Sun comes through the side mostly in the evenings.
Upright would be preferable. I have good wide window ledge.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.

Was finally able to get back to the hacienda.  Some water is still in the road but got in.

My fall garden really took a hit after being inundated with saltwater for 3 days. 

I watered really heavy when I left Sunday trying to keep the plants from being thirsty. Looks like some didn’t do very well.

Yes, they look beat, Grav, but still showing a healthy green shade of color.  Would a nice infusion of fresh water bring them back to a healthy state?

Gave it a good dousing especially on the leaves and pruned away all the dead leaves. Pruned the basil way back. I think the basil will be ok but I am pretty sure I lost my 6 thai chilies. Their leaves were totally shot.
